The story behind the bottle.
Patchouli Musc by Narciso Rodriguez, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that seamlessly blends strength with delicacy. The composition opens with the warmth of spices before settling into a heart of white flowers and musk. At its core lies Indonesian patchouli, a note that brings both robustness and subtlety to the scent. This fragrance is enveloped by powdery musk and enhanced with the sweetness of vanilla and woody notes, creating a smooth and voluptuous experience.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points. The Indonesian patchouli takes about an hour to fully settle into the skin, so plan accordingly. It's perfect for cooler weather but can also be worn during warmer months if you prefer a closer-to-skin application.
